Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Headhunt the headhunter for your job search“.

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Strategic interviewing for executives“.

How good are you at interviewing? Do you rely on your years of experience / charisma? How many interviews lead to next rounds, shortlists and/or job offers? If you are an experienced manager or executive, the standard interviewing techniques are “not enough” to be effective.

Some truths:
– Interviewing others requires different skills than being interviewed!
– Some recruiters might take the extra time to speak with you, not because you are a great candidate, but because they see you as a potential client! Knowing how to navigate that is important.
– Most recruiters will NOT share details about the recruitment processes they wanted to invite you to if they are not convinced that you fit within 10-15 min of the conversation. So you might end up thinking: “that really was just a “get-to-know” interview” – when in reality it was not. You simply didn’t pass through the filter.

During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:
– the four levels of interviewing skills (with real examples)
– how to use the STAR method and build a relationship with the interviewer
– differences between online & offline job interviews

Additionally, during a role-play based on a real example, we’ll show you how the media technique works!
